But Peter’s teaching has put me at ease and after just a few lessons I can feel my confidence gradually building up on the road. Thanks Peter. After passing- Thank you so much Peter, after giving up on driving years ago I didn’t think the day I passed my test would be possible. Great instruction, and very patient. It’s great to finally have my independence! Will be seeing you soon for Pass Plus." |
 | Rosanna Woodhouse - Newbury Manual "Thank you, Ray's a great instructor! I am so happy to have passed my driving test. Ray Cox was the best driving instructor I had by far.

Thank you so much for the patience, laughs and optimism you had in me I couldn’t have passed without you Ray!" |
 | Daniel Sparkes - Newbury Manual "Thank you Ray for being very patient with me. Ray Cox is an excellent trainer and a pleasure to drive with.

Thank you again, Danny Sparkes" |
 | Barnaby Omar - Newbury Manual "A huge thank you to Peter, without whom I would have had no chance of passing my test first time!!" |
 | Becki Hutt - Newbury Manual "Thank you peter for everything. I’m over the moon I passed today and beat my horrendous nerves.

Never thought I'd be able to do it!" |

Choosing Peter for refresher lessons was the best decision I made. Peter made me feel very safe, and very comfortable in my road surroundings. I no longer feel nervous on the road or in my new adapted car. I highly recommend Peter for new, old & nervous drivers... Thank you so much for all your patience." |

All you have taught me paid off when I pass the driving test first time, and that's really something to me. Thank you so much Mr. Ray Cox for helping me gain my Independence and freedom." |
 | Kate Markova - Newbury Manual "I would like to thank Peter Skelton’s school and especially my instructor Ray for giving me great lessons. I have passed the first time and I am so happy! Ray is a great instructor, very knowledgeable and patient, he made me very comfortable, though I was really afraid of driving and now I am loving it! I didn’t have my own car to practice and I have never driven until I was 28, but Ray helped me to learn everything from scratch and pass the test within a few months. Now every time I drive I think what Ray would do, I am very grateful for the lessons! Thank you" |
 | Ocean Sparks - Newbury Manual "Ray was very kind and patient with me. He made my lessons very comfortable and not too nerve-racking or daunting!

 | Ethel Nzombe - Thatcham Manual "If you think you are hopeless at driving a HIGHLY RECOMMEND you call Peter and book some lessons!!!!! I had driving lessons before with 2 different instructors, one taught me bad driving habits and the other was unreliable so when I met Peter I was quite discouraged an super nervous about even managing to move a car. I passed first time with only one minor. Really pleased with Peter’s teaching, through, everything is explained until you get it and no wasting time, no messing about !! This was really good because I felt like my previous instructors were sometimes not pushing me hard enough because the more mistakes I made the more lessons I booked so they would get more money. But none of that with Peter, he pushed me to get things right first time round and explained to me what I got wrong and why so l don’t keep making the same mistakes. And if you look at the gear stick you will get pen lines drawn on you hand! I booked my lessons in blocks. Very good value for money, especially as I was quite terrible at driving when we started! He literally had to re-teach me everything and remove my terrible driving habits I had been taught before by others! Thank you again Peter x!!!" |
